#18. VNV Nation - Before the Rain
Title: Before the Rain
Artist: VNV Nation
Album: Electric Sun
VNV Nation is one of my all-time favorite bands, and landed at #1 in 2019 with "Only Satellites". I try to keep my expectations tempered when a favorite band releases a new record, but VNV did another solid job with their new record, and I had the pleasure of seeing them live a few months after the release. The synths on "Electric Sun" definitely bite harder, more like the earlier VNV records, but the modern sound fits in with the progression that Ronan Harris has built upon his craft. This is a great uplifting song.
Favorite Line: "We built a universe so we could hold the cosmos in our hands."
